'Scared' Titanic sub tourist was concerned about safety before trip was cancelled

A journalist who nearly attended the Titanic submersible trip three years ago has revealed her concerns over safety and relief that her own trip was cancelled.

The Titanic submersible was taking five people to see the wreck of the Titanic in the Atlantic Ocean before it lost contact less than two hours into its dive on Sunday (18 June). US coastguards have now confirmed all those on board are dead after finding debris from the vessel.

In an immersive Channel 5 documentary, fronted by former BBC journalist Dan Walker before the sad news was confirmed, experts gave their view on what went wrong with the Titanic discovery mission. While a journalist, who was previously due to go on one of the submersible's maiden trip, has shared her relief the cancelled tour didn't take place.
